Lone Wulf Studio 2025 Indie Showcase Submission Submit 15 seconds of game footage from games you worked on in 2025!

Attention Indie Devs!

I just need 15 seconds ... of your game footage! A lot of people jumped on the 15s video trend, so I thought it would be cool to make a compilation to help indies get some visibility.

The anti-spam key is "kook".

Just want you to know that when I asked Geoff why he gave the silent treatment to an open letter written by his own "future of games" program (& co-signed by 3000+ industry peers), he replied:

"Because that's my show and nobody gets to tell me how I should use my platform". 💀💀💀

Hey there !

I have not forgotten to write devlogs. I'm simply focusing on the demo. I have a devlog 95% written, but I wanted to make progress on some little things in-game before discussing them.

Among them is accessibility, and boy, are there a looooooot of things to implement and correct.

Devlog #12 – Demo status Hey there fellow Khonsuans ! Maxime here for the bi-monthly update on the development of Khonsu Station ! In the last devlog, I hinted that I might not have a lot of time to work on the game to fin…

Devlog #10 !

Nothing much this week as getting back to work has been super time consuming. But still, a few little updates on QOL, animations, and contacting concept-artists for the game !

With that, I'm going to have to change my profile picture to something else. Those placeholder cubes are no longer in the game. The end of an era.

A great bundle in support of Palestine and Gaza. Please check it out !

Never getting enough of the "How to do this thing in one minute in blender" which is actually a 10 minutes video sped up ten times.

Les contrôleurs en civil dans le bus en plein mois d'août, énormes fils de CHIENS comment je les déteste.

On est 8 dans le bus, vas-y que ça tombe sur les étrangers qui ne savent pas comment ça marche et leur extorque une amende.

Pendant cette arnaque, une contrôleuse refuse la montée à une dame

Vos réglementations de merde, vos métiers de merde, tout le monde vous déteste vous êtes pires que tout.

Image from the opening level of Khonsu Station. We can see a corridor. a man is standing one third of the corridor in while another person (a blue cube) is standing in the middle. The man was originally a green cube.

What the hell ??? My cubes are slowly turning into small people. Very unsettling.

Stay tuned ! 2025-2026 is going to be very interesting for me and the game :)

I'm about to embark in a month-long holiday where I'll be working more on Khonsu Station. The program for august is :
- Working on the dialogues with my good friend @captainjim87.bsky.social
- Modelling the first NPCs
- Creating the first puzzles for chapter 2
- Updating the tutorials
- Bug solving

Image from Khonsu Station. We can see the main character entering the market, a squarish level with four corridors leading to an intersection where people have booth and exchangine stuff. On the side of the room, we can see tables, and chairs. Someone is drinking a coffee in the west corner of the room. Merchants are at their booths. The main character arrived from the east corridor. He says "Here's the market. It's really nice !".

Anyway ! One year later, we have a 3D game with puzzles coming about, characters, a story, a lore that I really like (although it still a draft). I made contact with friends and artists to help me (payed of course !!) and I'm happy to be getting closer to a first demo every day.

That might sound strange (maybe not ?) but as a programmer, I find it easier to reason in 3D vertices/faces than with pixel art where each pixel matter, and color is a difficult thing to manage precisely. Especially for animated characters.

Finally the pixel art aspect started sounding too difficult for me. Making tilesets is one thing, but making characters with personality and animating them sounded way more difficult in 2D/pixel art than in 3D for me.

Image from a draft version of Khonsu Station in 2D. We can see the tiles on the ground are white/blueish. Walls are "technological, and blue". A window shows the moon behind with stars. In the corridor depicted on the picture, we can see two skeletons borrowed from Chrono Trigger.

Image from a draft version of Khonsu Station in 2D. We can see a room with the same tiles/walls as the previous picture. On the left is a large grey stone table with wooden chairs. In the center of the room, a NPC is waiting. The NPC is the sprite of Schala in Chrono Trigger.

Image from a draft version of Khonsu Station. We can see the same setup as before, with a room having three windows showing the landscape of the moon in the background. At the entrance of the room, we can see the player character, depicted as Marle in Chrono Trigger, waiting.

But also, my very first tests for gameplay were in 2D. I started designing some tilesets, and objects in pixel art, then incorporated some gameplay elements, borrowing some sprites from a little rpg of the snes (that I'm sure nobody will recognize).

Funnily enough, the first thing I worked on was a dialogue system ! I knew I wanted to do a puzzle game with sci-hi/horror elements. And I wanted to have something story driven, where there was some dialogue with no branching.

I loved the dialogue system of Disco Elysium and started copying it.

Tourtour by mdelorme An extremely basic tower defense game

One more day before a month-long off work!

July marks the one year anniversary of Tourtour my first game (go and try it on itch, it's a stupid little tower defense : mdelorme.itch.io/tourtour)

It also marks the one year anniversary of me working on Khonsu Station.

Where my super productivity run was halted by real life and sickness. Anyway !

In this devlog I show a few examples of tutorials I'm working on, as well as a new visual cue system.

Blips and Bloops

Yeah dialogues are in French yet :D

I NEED YOUR HELP.

We're down to the last 30+ hours of the games submission for the Play for Palestine charity drive and we are at 258 submissions. I'm hoping we can hit 300 by the close 🇵🇸

J'ai peur que ça surcharge un peu, mais c'est vrai que ce serait peut être pas mal.
